BARCELONA, 29 (EUROPA PRESS)
La Catalana grouping of health establishments (Aces), which represents to 121 private centres, has defended this Tuesday in Barcelona make a “global health system review”, after say this is unsustainable and precise reforms urgent.
In the presentation of a study on the Catalan onstage post-crisis, health director-general of Aces, LluÃs Monset, has argued that there are multiple models of reform, although it has been pointed out that all of them should be in line with transferring the State’s responsibilities in the field of health care to the people.
Previously, the conseller Boi Ruiz has embraced the idea of reform at the Spanish level in which citizens should hire a compulsory minimum insurance from a certain level of income, a proposal that Monset has considered that “it opens a door that has not had never opened”, while has applauded the courage of the Minister to make the proposal.
The President of Aces, Cristina Contel, has said that it should be defined either a measure so that “the citizen must have the possibility to choose,” but it has been favourable to the existence of a minimum insurance policy covering risk catastrophic.
All of this without prejudice to other ideas that it has been considered more feasible as the extension to the whole society of model Muface which governs in the case of officials, and in any case without allowing public amenities to make activity private.
Aces, which has submitted a report which finds that cuts that has implemented the Generalitat in health are the result of growth of the public sector over the generation of wealth, has emphasized the need for reform, because the current model is”the ICU”, pointed out Contel.
Mandatory policy
The expert on issues of health Francesc Moreu has seeded the idea advanced by the counsellor about the possibility of establishing a mandatory policy – Ruiz he has cited him as ideologue-, and stated that made observation is based on the need to move from the current state of the welfare to the current welfare society.
Moreu has explained that the proposed model is based on other European models in which the present public insurance would be divided into two parts: a policy of catastrophic risks that would be charge the State as so far–to cover diseases serious as transplants and cancers- and the other “complementary risk” for services contracted less complex.
The second policy would be bound posts from a certain level of income, to ensure that no citizen should be neglected, while the expert insisted that launched idea was not going beyond that, among other things, the definition of what is meant by catastrophic risks or the minimum income level would vary the outcome significantly.
“No we can continue to take specific actions without tackling the heart of the matter”, expressed Moreu, after warning that the copay would be a bad solution because it does not value the efforts of the citizens.
